Hello,
Sorry for being late ( a lot of works Smilie ).
So your solution works great, but I have an other question relate to path ( something is related to the absolu path of the script ? ) , here my code :

Code:
!/bin/sh
TODAY=`date +%s`
# numbers of day to keep ( 86400 = 1 day )
NDAYS=86400
BCK_DIR=/Volumes/BACKUP/BCK_DATA/_ARCHIVES_/
TRASHDIR=/Volumes/BACKUP/BCK_DATA/Trash/

ls -1 $BCK_DIR | while read FILE ; do
     TS="${FILE#*+}"
	OFFSET=` expr $TODAY - $TS `
     if [ $OFFSET -gt $NDAYS ] ; then   # i.e. range check
          mv "$FILE" "$TRASHDIR"
     fi
done

Here the output :
Code:
mv: rename filetest.txt_19-02-2014_17h58m33+1392829113 to /Volumes/BACKUP/BCK_DATA/Trash/: No such file or directory

So $TRASHDIR is no good but I know how to resolve this.
Any idea

NAME
lvscan - scan (all disks) for Logical Volumes SYNOPSIS
lvscan [-a|--all] [-b|--blockdevice] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose] DESCRIPTION
lvscan scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices in the system for defined Logical Volumes. The output consists of one line for each Logical Volume indicating whether or not it is active, a snapshot or origin, the size of the device and its allocation policy. Use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain more-comprehensive information about the Logical Volumes. OPTIONS
See lvm for common options. --all Include information in the output about internal Logical Volumes that are components of normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as mirrors, but which are not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable). For example, after creating a mirror using 'lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk', this option will reveal three internal Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog. -b, --blockdevice This option is now ignored. Instead, use lvs(8) or lvdisplay(8) to obtain the device number. SEE ALSO
